No Symptoms at 6 weeks - Worried

Hi ladies,

I will be 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow, but I really don't feel anything, no m/s, sore bbs, the only thing I had was lower back pain when I first found out I was pregnant, but now it seems easied off too. Occassional cramps or twinge in the tummy but hardly noticed.

This is my very first pregnancy and really don't know what to expect...my first scan won't be until 10th July at 7wk4D, so I am a bit worried...I think I am going to have a b/t just to check the level, but have anyone had similar experience, feel perfectly normal but still truely pregnant?

thanks guys in advance..trying to get some reassurance to get through today...

I didn't really get any symptoms with this pg until about 7weeks. I did have sore boobs though but once I got to the 7wks mark it really hit with the tiredness and m/s etc. Maybe you will get through without any real symptoms or you may get them later on.

Thanks Sherie...I did feel a bit tired from time to time...but seems my dream of having a bigger bbs through pregnancy has been shattered...:rolleyes:

Hi BeiBei congratulations :D
My first pregnancy I didn't really have any symptoms that made me feel pregnant until I started to show but each pregnancy after I really notice those subtle changes, I'm wondering if it's just that I've become more aware of what's pregnant and what's not. for me m/s started around 7 weeks with my first 2 but this one I got morning sickness from about 6 weeks so maybe your m/s is about to hit full force AHHH!

Hi there Bei Bei,
I am only 5Wks preg, i am feeling pretty tired but no real obvious symptoms either. We will both be due around the same time, it will be nice to keep in touch and share stories :-)
From Sally

I had to remind myself I was pregnant at 6 weeks. It really seems to be a boring yet exciting time. Don't will the symptoms too much...soon you could be nauseaous all the time. Then you'll know!

Stay positive, you'll get all the symptoms in good time.

Goodluck Jacqui

Hi BeiBei, firstly congratulations on your successful FET! Well done! I didn't have any morning sickness/symptoms with either my twin pregnancy or singleton pregnancy so i wouldn't worry too much although easier said than done i know! I had convinced myself that i wasn't pregnant at all before i had my ultrasound with my girls at 8 weeks as i felt completely normal. I was very relieved/shocked when we saw two little heart beats! Just enjoy this precious time because unfortunately it's so short and before you know it you'll have 41/2 yo twins that are driving you crackers!!! (or maybe that's just me!) Good luck with the ultrasound and the pregnancy.

Hi Beibei, I am a first time mom too. And I totally understand how you feel. I remember when I was 5 weeks pregnant, I kept asking myself how come I am not getting any pregnancy symptoms except for mild abdominal discomfort. Aside from that, I felt very myself! Don't worry, some women experience more discomforts than others and it is perfectly normal. In about 2 weeks, you may start getting sore breasts... Again, please don't worry about not feeling any signs because each individual is different. Then again, some women may envy you for not going through any discomforts!

BeiBei - i had no symptoms until after I hit the 6wk mark, and then boy was I sick until 14wks! Be careful what you wish for :D

BeiBei, some women are lucky and have no symptoms in early pg other than tiredness, which for me tends to come at about weeks 7-13. Other than the obvious lack of AF and growing belly, I tend not to have any symptoms til about 15 weeks.

LisaL LOL at careful what you wish for!! I had a GF who was worried about not being sick and ended up in hospital on a rehydration drip cause she threw up so much!

BeiBei, I know its hard not to worry, but bodies have this wonderful way of just getting on with the job even though the mind is second guessing it :)

You are just so great ladies...thank you so much for not only putting my mind at ease but a smile on my face...it all make sense...I think I am going to relax and enjoy the precious time and count the blessings that how lucky i am (that don't have any symptoms):p

Another person here who didn't get any symptoms until after the 7 week mark, and it was just mild m/s. Didn't really have sore bbs and didn't feel any more tired than usual.

Looking back I'm glad it was so uneventful, but at the time, it drove me mental wondering if everything was ok. (it was!)

I didn't notice anything before week 6, then started to get sore BB. I also had some cramping around week 3 and week 6. I didn't find out I was PG till week 7. Thought those symptoms were pre AF symptoms. I'm week 9 now and still only have sore BB. It is hard not having symptoms, as all you want is to feel PG, for reassurance. Dispite not having any major symptoms, reality is slowly setting in and I'm seeing little changes in BB.
Only 50% of ppl get m/s, which means half of us won't. I have decided to count my blessing instead.
Good luck with you PG and congratulations.

I have to agree with some of the other posters, you are lucky to not have any symptoms. My first pregancy I had nothing until a bit of morning sickness at nine and eleven weeks. This time I was feeling unwell from conception until about 14 weeks. It is nice to have some symptoms so you 'feel' pregnant, but enjoy not having any while it lasts!!

Yep...I didn't get any real symptoms til about 8+ weeks...then the nausea set in...but I didn't even realise that was what it really was until about 10 weeks!

I did feel really tired from weeks 4-6, but that settled pretty easily...

Although at the time, it was hard not feeling big symptoms, I'm now really grateful that it's been a pretty uneventful pregnancy...

I guess, either way, it's a bit hard...

I'm sure everything is wonderful! Take care!

Just a thought, you might have more symptoms than you realise. If you check out the 'pg symtom's in the 1st trimester thread' you'll realise that things you might not put down to being pg can in fact be pg symptoms themselves.

BeiBei, i could have posted the same post when i was 6 weeks along. Here i am almost 15 weeks and i still haven't had many symptoms. I've had no morning sickness at all - apart from one night where i had to go to bed because i felt like i was going to be sick (but that was after eating way too much chocolate lol). All my scans have shown so far that bubs is healthy and everything is going well. You could just be one of the lucky ones like me (or morning sickness could hit next week and you'll be wishing it would go away lol!) Goodluck and i know it's easier said than done but try to relax and enjoy :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!
Gosh, if I didn't take my pregnancy test at 7 weeks I wouldn't of known that I was pregnant! (we were trying for 10mths so it was a ritual for me to take a pregnancy test at a certain time of the month)

When I did find out I took more notice of how I was feeling and all I had was a bit of tiredness (but that is normal for me..lol). At 5 weeks I went to a hens night because I just had no clue whatsoever and then following weekend was my brothers wedding! Boy did I feel guilty when I found out due to the alcohol I had....:redface:

I didn't really feel much different till about week 25 when my belly started to show properly and thats about when I started to get tender boobs and bubs movements were more noticeable too.

So don't get too worried, enjoy the fact that its not uncomfortable for you...............yet:lol:

WISHING YOU A HAPPY AND HEALTHY PREGNANCY!!

I know I shouldn't worry too much, look at all the gorgerous babies ( Marya, Charlie and Flynn) you all have...or about to have...

Boo, I can't believe you are now 15weeks, I still remember your little miracle of getting BFP before IVF...glad to know all is going well, so excited for you!

Charolotte, totally buying the stats (50%), kind of boringly logical kind of gal most of the time...

Hi BeiBei,
The only symptom I had in early pregnancy was sore breasts. They were sore until I was 11wks pregnant, ouch! The rest of the pregnancy has been symptom free except for just this week I had heartburn and swollen ankles one night.

I'm now 33wks so I've had a pretty good run and I've always saw my lack of symptoms as a sign that pregnancy really agrees with me. :heartbeat: I already can't wait til next time!

Pheonix, finding two heartbeats on u/s must have been amazing! Your post has made me think about what it would actually be like, pregnant with twins...two pairs of arms, legs sqiriming and stretching. It's amazing with just one!

All the best BeiBei for your pregnancy.

I ddn't have any pg symptoms at all through my whole pregnancy. I only got braxton hicks the day before my waters broke so please don't let it worry you too much. I know it plays on your mind but try toenjoy your symptom free pg cause you never know when your symptoms might start.
I also got completely jibbed on the big bb's too. I was so excited that I might get big bb's. But nope. When I was pg they didn't change and everyone said just wait til your milk comes in but once again they are certainly not much bigger then it was wait until you establish b/f but no!! Completely ripped off.

Hi guys, thank you so much for your support...just want to let you know that I had my b/t today and the result came back perfectly fine...with all the intellegence you have offered, I actually already knew that....:-) Its so good to have you guys, have a good weekend!

beibei, i was just thinking the same as you.
I'm only at 5 weeks but havent really had m/s. slight quesiness on colder mornings, and just feeling like im not getting enough sleep. ive had sore bbs since the week before AF was supposed to be due. apart from that im feeling really good. And so i've wondered if everything is ok with the pg.... ive been told that m/s quite often hits from week 6 or 7. i really really really hope i dont get it. my mum had it right into her second semester. ekkk!

Congratulations on being pregnant, and the bt showing +ve. Maybe 1st pregnancies it takes longer for the body to adapt to the changes. I know my bbs are REALLY sore this time around, but never really noticed it 1st time. Also ms arrived around 9 weeks last time - and i am only 6 wks, so waiting to see what happens. Wait until you start showing - i reckon that is the best "symptom"

Congratulations on your pregnancy !!

The first trimester can be such a worrying time!! With my second child, i had no idea i was pregnant until i started to feel tired and sick all the time. We had just bought a house and were getting ready to move, i didnt even realise i was 3 weeks late !!! So by the time i knew what was happening, the first trimester was nearly gone and the rest of the pregnancy flew by.
This time we were ttc, and i found out as early as possible. It has been a very slow few weeks and i am now heading towards week seven. I havent had many symptoms except for some sore boobs and a bit of pulling and stretching in my tummy. I expect the morning sickness will come in the next week or two.
Try not to worry too much, everyone is different. Enjoy your scan and your pregnancy !!

hugs
treelo

Fantastic news on your b/t results.

Fab news BeiBei.

Hi, I had very mild symptoms in my first prg, my next prg was about 5 years later and I can remember saying to the Doc how I had hardly any symptoms, he said just wait a couple of weeks. Man was he right, around 8 weeks I did'nt know what had hit me. It lasted until about 18 weeks and then came back at about 30 weeks I went into labour 3 weeks early I have never been so relieved in my life. Good luck I am sure you will start to notice some signs as your hormone levels rise.

I didn't have anything in the first trimester at all other than tiredness and the occasional nausea when I left off eating for too long. I'm only just starting to get a bump now at 27 weeks! So though early preg is a very worrysome time, don't worry too much - I'm sure your symptoms will kick in soon :)

Beibei.. i never had any symptoms at all during my pregnancy. You may just be one of the lucky ones!! I also had a few light cramping/twinges but that was put down to just my uterus stretching. Youd be surprised whats going on in there!! Try not to stress too much.. it is very normal (and lucky!) not to get any symptoms..

Enjoy your pregnancy!

HI,

I too didn't really have any symptoms. I did eventually start feeling a little nauseous, but nothing bad.
for me I didn't get any ultrasounds until 19 weeks, and in the few weeks leading up to that the midwives couldn't pick up a heartbeat either. IN addition to that you couldn't actually tell I was preganant at that stage. I lay down for my ultrasound, and my fat rolls would flatten out.

i was scared that the sonographer was going to put the scanner on y belly and there would just be a black void.

But imagine my surprise and joy when the second she put it down there was this perfect little human profile that appeared on the screen, and it measured the perfect size.

So don;t stress about a lack of symptoms.

To get me through to 19 weeks knowing nothing I tried to not focus on the lack of symptoms, but did focus on the fact that I had no pain and no spotting at all.

With no symptoms your glass is half full my darling

Oh, I am truely feeling that I am just lucky of not having any symptoms now... we broke the news to my parents last Sunday, they were thrilled. And appearantly, my mum didn't have any symptoms when she was pregnant with me, so I guess it must be in the family...

Prama, love your little signiture about brain cells more than Paris Hilton...

beibei - isn't cute!!

im starting to get more symptoms, just more quesiness, no hurling (yet!) :-( my mom said she had m/s right into second trimester..

i hope it never gets to you! xox

are you having your u/s soon? mine's on the 24th at westmead

Hi Prama, good luck for your scan. Mine is also on the 24th. I am very excited..

thanks sally! let me know how it goes :D
good luck to you too, hun.. all the best xoxox

I also have no symptoms and found out my Mum was also the same. Can't complain abour genes. Though my DH was talking to MIL who was extreamly worried about the pregnancy (she lives in VIC) as she had terrible M/S, now hates me cause I don't have M/S. (I assume she was joking).

Prama, my scan is on the 10th July, so still about a week to go and I can't wait...so you will be around 9 weeks by 24th? Good luck!

I think I did have some quesiness one day after lunch, it s this strange feeling in my throat and I can't even talk 'cause as soon I open my month I want to gag...not pleasant...is that the famous m/s? lucky I don't have any meetings that day

oh beibei, I really hope that was a one-off. I do get the rising feeling at the throat and then gagging. yukk. I hope it was just something you ate, and not m/s.
ooh the 10th! that's next tuesday! yaay! how exciting, let us know how it goes, the heartbeat rate and all! good luck!! yes, mine is at 9 weeks. i hope it all goes well!
